First batch of MAG DLC announced – and it’s free

We knew it was only a matter of time before this was announced – fans of MAG are in for a treat as Zipper Interactive has released information on the first batch of DLC – plus a little something extra.

Dubbed the ‘Trooper Gear Pack’, it will be released on March 25th for the price of zero pounds – which translates into zero dollars.

First up is the introduction of the Flashbang grenade, used to create chaos and confusion.

They will also be including new special edition Light Machine Guns for each PMC. Raven’s APEX 100SE, SVER’s RTK-74 Vla, and Valor’s Mk 46 Mod 1 weapons will provide both a new look for your favourite LMGs and a number of performance adjustments as well.

The last element of the pack will be two additional uniforms – ‘Trooper Dark’ and ‘Trooper Light’. Available to all three PMCs, these uniforms are specifically designed for urban and interior combat situations and give you two more aesthetic options to diversify your character with.

The latest style - it's all the rage in Paris.

The good news is that this is just the first of many packs Zipper Interactive have up their sleeve.

What’s that? You want more? Ok, we hear you. As a thank you to all of their fans, Zipper Interactive is offering Double XP to any and all MAG players starting March 25.

Simply log in at 12am Pacific/ 3am Eastern/ 8am GMT and play MAG as you normally would. Every time you complete a game your experience doubles, and yes, this bonus stacks for Veterans who already have an XP bonus to begin with!

Just make sure you actually complete the games you play – if you quit early, your bonus won’t apply.

So, we assume every MAG fan here has a big smile on their face – see you on the battlefield!
